The good life


“Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.” - Isaiah 1: 17.
WHEN we marvel at the beauty of God’s creation – be it a snow-capped mountain, fields of spring flowers or the wonder of a new-born child – let us give thanks too for those who create new lives for orphans. Though they themselves may be unfruitful, their decision to adopt a child is a beautiful reflection of God’s love. True religion, the bible says, is taking care of orphans. What greater care is there than in the arms of a loving family? Let us pray each and every adoption results in a mutual celebration of creating life through love.
